A MAGNIFICENT BRICK BLOCK.

Plans are being drawn for a building to be
erected by the Sites Bros. on North Main
street 1t will be located on the west side OF
Main street, between Douglas avenue and
First street, occupying the space now being
used by the Cash Grocery and Peckham &
Hellar's old stand.
The building will have front of fifty feet,
and one hundred and forty feet deep and
three stories high. They propose to make it
one of the finest business blocks in the city.
The plans are not completed, and it as yet
has not been decided what material will be
used. The front will either be of stone or
the best quality of pressed brick. The first
floor will be suited to business rooms and the
other stories will be cut up into rooms suited
to offices. The building will be supplied
with steam heating apparatus and two pas
senger elevators 1t will be fitted up with
all the modern appliances, and in every
respect be block that every citizen of the
city can point to with pride.
1t has not been determined whether the
buildipg,,will be erected this fall and winter,
or whether nothing viii be done towards its
erection until next spring. The leases of the
buildings now on the ground will probably
prevent work being commenced until rext

AT A PARADE REST.

Gas Company No. 2, more commonly
known in gas and oil circles as the Great
Arkansas Valley Gas, Oil, Lighting, Fuel
Supply, Investment and Kansas Bluff Com
pany, seem to be waiting for something to
turn up. A member of the company many
months ago stated that the contract for sink
ing well had been awarded and all the ma
chinery for doing the work ordered. The
machinery was expected to arrive in few
days, when the drill would be started after
the much desired stratum as fast as possible.
Persistent investigation has so far failed to
be awarded with any news Of commence
ment of operations or even the arrival Of the
gas well paraphernalia.
Rumor of late tells of meetir & of a quo
rum of stakeholder where it was decided to
wait until the frost was chased out of the
ground before commencing operations. A
member OF the company yesterday stated
that the meeting was intended to be sub rosa
in every particular The company expected
to quietly go about its own affairs and say
little to the public. Nor would it trouble the
city council in the least about gas ordinance,
either for exclusive franchise business or for
the right to lay mains in the city limits.

RECEPTION,

Last evening a reception was rendered
Rev. DR.. Hobbs, the newly elected pastor of
the Central Christian, at the residence of DR..
Oldham, corner Market street and Central
avenue.
DR.. Hobbs comes to this city from Louis
vile, KY. with the highest endorsement of
the people of that city as an able and jealous
minister of the gospel. He and his aimable
wife have already made manv friends dur
ing their short residence in the city, and his
pastorate takes its commencement der the
most favorable auspices
The fine lawn around the residence of the
Doctor had been neatly prepared for the oc-
casion; chairs and rustic seats had been ar
ranged beneath the trees, and the yard was
brilliantly lighted and illuminated with
hundreds of Chinese and Japanese lanterns
making beautiful and striking picture. The
whole house was thrown open and was soon
crowded with members of the church who
came to pay their respects to their new min
ister Among those present were DR.. Hen
dry, the retiring pastor, who will take charge
of the new church at the Garfield University !;
Rev. George Peet, of Bloomington, Ind. !;
Rev. Payne, of the Lincoln street church; ;
and Rev. Harper formerly pastor of the Con-
gregational church. The evening was spent
very pleasantly by all present.

ARRIVALS At HOTEL DE HAYS.

Yesterday afternoon two elderly gentle
men went into the alley in the rear of the
Miller block on North Mrin to engage in a
little social, old fashion game of horse shoe
pitching. One Mr.. Horn, removed his vest
and hung it upon fence near by and soon
both were deeply interested in the game.
Soon two rather tough looking customers
came prowling around and saw the vest. but
how to reach it and not be seen was to them
a mystery. little boy who stood watching
the garment they finally persuaded to
go into grocery store and call out the pro-
prietor; when the boy returned the men were
seen hurryipg away. In few minutes az
forwards when Mr.. Horn went for his vest
he found it gone: a search, how
ever. revealed it stored away
among some boxes. He fished it out and
found Everything of value gone-a gold
bred dollars in notes.
The two toughs were Immediately sus-
pected and Officer Wolff notified. He fol
lowed the men and finding them in resort
near by arrested both; the watch was found,
but they had in some manner made away
with the money. Both were locked up in the
Jail; one giving the name of Charles Owens,
The other John Doe.
1t is supposed that there is a third party
implicated in the theft; he is known and will
no doubt soon fall into the hands of the
authorities.
For several days lady hes been in the
city on the lookout for her husband, whom
she said had deserted her and come to Wich-
ita. She found out after q short
investigation made after her arri-
val here that her husband
was, she had strong reasons to believe, really
married to a young lady Of this city and had
a warrant issued Thursday morning by Judge
Walker for his arrest The man could not
be found by the authorities until yesterday,
when he was arrested in a Douglas avenue
butcher shop. The name he gave was Harry
Boyer. A warrant was issued for the woman
but she was not arrested

THINKS 1T A LIVELY CITY.

Mr.. ]. ". Haymaker, Of Emirence, Ken
lucky. arrived in the city Thursday last.
This is his first visit to the city. Many Of
his neighbors and friends have formerly
visited the city and returned with fattering
reports, but he hadalways looked upon such
with no small degree of latitude. The much
reading about the city and the many favora-
BILE reports submitted by acquaintance had
caused him to believe that Wichita was a
good town and destined to be greater. With
that idea he came to see and form an opinion
for himself. He was shown some of the
many strong points of the city yesterday
and IS he expressed it he was more than sur
prised. He had never formed in his minds
eve a Wichita that Wichita is. The mag
nificient buildings occupied by business es-
Establishments doing immense business and the
crowded streets and sidewalks caused him to
believe that he was in the liveliest city in the
west which means the hveliest city on the
continent

A BANK BUILDING.

1t is hoped to have the Fletcher building
on the corner of Second ard Main streets
completed by the middle of next December
The work at present is progressing slowly,
partially it is thought from temporary lack
OF stone. The stone contractor has but few
men at work and the contractors in other
departments are anxious to go ahead with
their departments.
The basement has already been rented
Part OF it will be used for barber shop an l
the rest for harness establishment On the
corner will be bank The room is being
made especially suited to that purpose. It
will be finely frescoed and made one of the
incest bank headquarters in the city. The
company has already been organized and
contracted for the room. The CAPT.
tai stock win be $4,000. All the
stock has been subscribed. Near
one-third is owned by gentlemen in
the city and the balance by eastern capital
lists. The company hopes to be able to COM
mence business by the first of January. The
gentlemen connected with the bank who
live in the city are not anxious for their
names to be given to the types in that con-
nection. The desire for silence it is thought
originates from the fe ct that some of then
are connected with ether large MONETARY in
situations in the city.
The upper story Of the Fletcher block will
be used for photograph gallery. The gen
tleman leasing it is making arrangements to
occupy it on the first If the year.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.

Mr.. Eddie Stafford, son Of c. A. Stafford.
was driving two horses attached to a car
riage They became frightened near the
corner of Thirteenth street and Topeka
avenue and ran south to Eleventh street
where the carriage was taken by a tree
throwing Mr.. Stafford against the obstruc-
ton inficting scalp wound near five inches
long. Drs. Ordway and Pearman were sum-
moned and sowed up the cash and found
that the patient was otherwise injured.
The physicians think he is not dangerously
but seriously injured. The carriage was a
total wreck.

INSTITUTE NOTES.

The institute seems to be increasing in
interest instead Of proving tiresome, as
would be expected from the position of the
mercury in the tube. None of the instruc-
tors complain of lack Of interest, but are
more than pleased with the interest being
manifested.
The institute was yesterday visited by DR..
Harris, of Vincennes, Ind, and Mr.. NJ. N.
Williams, of Spencer, Ind Both seemed to
think that Wichita and Sedgwick county
ould get up lively interest in institute
work.
Mental Philosophy-Prot. Mcneil seemed
as smiling and happy as ever, and the mem
bers of his class show in the recitations that
they they partake Of the life and energy of
their Instructor. The subject under discus
sion was Imagination 1t was
shown that this faculty of the mind is
the third in the order Of development and is
most active in early childhood. The fancies
of a child should be restrained and not al
lowed to have full sway. The value of the
imagination to the orator, the writer, the
lawyer was touched upon, and the methods
of development and culture of this faculty
was explained. This recitation was full of
interest, as good illustrations were given by
the class, and Prof. Mcneil Is always ready
to supply deficiencies.
Constitution-The members of the coDstitu-
ledge of the constitutional government of
the United States.
The executive department was disposed of
giving clear understanding Of the duties of
the cabinet officers and the general character
of department duties The present incumb
specified. Some interesting points were
brought forth and the discussions were full
of interest and information. Prof. Shull
handles this subject with good perspicuity
and can impart his knowledge to others
Geography The subject was outlined on
the black board, and was well disposed of
considering the extent of the lesson, which
should be over a weeks work.
Prof. Naylor possesses that happy faculty
which distinguishes the true teacher-that
of having the members of his class to do the
work, the thinking and the explaining of a
recitation. The outline was a model study
of the people, institutions, industries and
productions of the United States Each of
these. heads was sutdivided into classes, and
these were as VT II discussed as time would

to pay the city 81 for disturbing the peace.

SCHOTTISH RITE HALL.

The Schottish Rite hall which is being
fitted up in the third story of the Friend
block will be when completed one of the
incest secret society halls in the city. Several
thousand dollars are being expended in
fitting it up. 1t will probably be completed
by the first of next month.
There is no other Schottish Rite order in
the state west of Leavenworth. Many mem
bers are in the towns around the city and
quite a number of letters have already been
received indicating that they will change
their membership from Leavenworth to
